A bit of advice, don't copy nature too closely. Art is an abstraction; as you dream amid nature, extrapolate art from it, and concentrate on what you will create as a result.

One's state of mind is three-quarters of what counts, so it has to be carefully nurtured if you want to do something great and lasting.

Nothing so resembles a daub as a masterpiece.

A great sentiment can be rendered immediately. Dream on it and look for the simplest form in which you can express it.

Color which, like music, is a matter of vibrations, reaches what is most general and therefore most indefinable in nature: its inner power.

Stay firmly in your path and dare; be wild two hours a day!

Art is either plagiarism or revolution.
